Limitations & Specialist Requests

We like to be upfront about what we do and don’t do:

  • Tree work at height: Major tree surgery or work requiring climbing/MEWP is not included. We can provide light canopy lifts and tree pruning within safe reach, or refer to specialist partners as needed.
  • Large‑scale soft landscaping: Full redesigns or construction are out of scope for routine maintenance, though light soft landscaping and planting are available.
  • Pesticides and herbicides: Selective treatments are available under weed control. We use approved products only and will advise if a specialist application is required.
  • Waste volumes: Routine visits include bagging. For significant volumes, book green waste removal or garden clearance.
  • Access and safety: We do not operate petrol machinery indoors or in unsafe conditions. Wet weather may affect certain tasks for quality and safety.

If your garden needs something unusual—steep banks, complex topiary, or irrigation checks—tell us during the quote so we can plan a bespoke approach.

We work throughout North London, supporting homes, landlords, block managers and small businesses. Typical site considerations include:

  • Terraced access: Tools and bags may need to pass through the property. We protect floors and agree a route.
